LYNcHED.-About half.past one o'clock
yesterday morning party of masked men,
supposed to be about twenty five In mum.
Der, appeared at the st. Mary's county Md
Jail, in Leonardtown, and calling up Mr..
Clements, the jailer, stated that they mad q
prisoner and wished him to get up and re-
ce;ve him. The jailer started to comply
with their request, but soon discovered that
they had no prisoner, and made some re-
mark showing mis- disbelief Of their state
ment. They then demanded the keys of
the Jail, and at the same time warned him
not to put his head out. as'they would
shoot. Upon his refusal to deliver the keys
they broke in the outside door, being pine
panel, and rushing upstairs, with the aid of
an axe broke the lock of the outside cell
door. Their object was 10 get possession Of
BENJAMIN Hance, colored, charged with ut
tempting felonious assault upon Miss
Alice Bailey, the daughter OF respectable
farmer, on the road near st. Clements Bay,
in st. Mary's county, about TWO weeks ago.
Hance admitted having made the assault,
but said he desisted owing to the determin-
ed resistance of the young lady and the ap-
proach, as he supposed, OF some one to her
rescue. The cell in which ne was confined
had o hole in the door large enough for II
mans body 10 pass through, and it is sup
posed Hance was taken out in this way, as
the door was afterwards found to be locked.
The prisoner made no resistance, nor was
sound heard from him. The party was last
seen with the prisoner going out one OF the
back streets He was carried to some point
outside the town and hanged to q tree, where
his body was found few hours later. No
arrests have been made, as the jaier claims
not to know any one Of the parties concern
ed in the lynching, though he thought there
were some colored men among the party.
The whole affair, from the calling up of the
lailer to the time of leaving the Jail, did not
take owe: three.quarters OF an hour.
